Judith 11:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ “No other woman from one end of the earth to the other is her equal in beauty and in wisdom of speech!” ²² Then Holofernes said to her, “God has done well in sending you ahead of your people so that victory will be ours and destruction will be the fate of those who have insulted my lord. ²³ Not only are you beautiful to behold, but you are eloquent in your wisdom. If you do as you have promised, your God shall be my God; furthermore, you shall dwell in the palace of King Nebuchadnezzar and you shall be renowned throughout the entire world.”
